SAN ANTONIO – The City of San Antonio and H-E-B have joined forces to launch the Diabetes Insulin Assistance Program, providing relief to residents facing the high costs of insulin.

This program is designed to make managing diabetes more affordable and to promote free diabetes self-management workshops offered by the Metropolitan Health District.

Under this program, individuals in need can receive up to $100 per insulin prescription, including refills. This financial support is available to residents of San Antonio and Bexar County, regardless of their insurance status, and will continue until funds are exhausted.

If you qualify for assistance, you can visit any of the 19 participating H-E-B pharmacies to submit your prescriptions. Free delivery is also an option for those within a 15-mile radius of these locations.

To enroll in the program, simply fill out a consent form at the pharmacy or online at SA.gov/Health (location information available on the website). While participation in the city’s diabetes self-management workshops is encouraged, it is not mandatory to receive financial assistance.

For additional information or assistance, please visit SA.gov/Health or contact 311.
